The Moving Process

At VIP we understand how stressful the moving process can be. Whether you are moving across the street or around the world, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to make your move an easy one.

The first step in the moving process is a simple one; contact us! You can do that via
e-mail at info@vipmovingservice.com, or by calling us at 1-877-660-0411.
You will speak to a relocation specialist who will set up an appointment for one of our relocation consultants to visit your home, and perform a survey. The relocation consultant will survey everything in your home, and will ask you which items will be staying and which will be going. The relocation consultant will also discuss with you the specialized services that VIP Moving Service provides, such as specialized crating, packing, and unpacking. By doing this, the relocation consultant will be able to provide you with an accurate estimate of transportation costs. The estimate is free to you, and in now way obliges you to our services.

After a visual survey has been completed on your goods, the next step is to contact your relocation specialist again and schedule your move. If you have requested that VIP pack your goods, a pack date will be scheduled as well as a load date.

If you have any questions regarding your move, this is a good time to call your relocation specialist. They are ready to answer any questions you may have about your upcoming move. This is also a good time to gather information that will be useful to you in regards to making your move a smooth one. If you are planning on packing your own goods, visit our Packing Tips page. You'll helpful hints for packing just like the professionals do.

When your pack date arrives, you can expect a team of trained movers to be at your home early in the morning. Depending on how much packing needs to be completed, your pack date may be the same as your load date. After the packing is completed, the moving team will start to prep your home before loading all of your goods onto the moving vehicle. This may include laying down floor runners to protect carpets and flooring, as well as padding banisters and doors to avoid damaging any woodwork. The team will wrap most of your furniture with moving blankets to prevent dents and scratches. The moving team will then start loading all of your goods onto the moving vehicle. After everything has been loaded, we recommend you take one last walk through your home to make sure that nothing has been overlooked.

You will be contacted 24 hours prior to your expected delivery date. When your shipment arrives, you can help the moving team by telling them where you want items placed.
